Recently, H1N1 has been quite a hot topic.
Everyone, everywhere is talking about the latest morbidity and mortality statistics.
All of a sudden, everyone is wearing masks.
The emergency rooms (and I'm sure that the outpatient department) is crowded with people who think they have H1N1.
People are demanding for tests and medications.
I just don't get it.
I don't know how many times the government has told that not everyone needs treatment.
Only if you are in the high risk group, you will be given treatment.
If not, all you have to do is quarantine your self.
Why do all this people have to crowd the A&E like that?
The other day, at 12am, the A&E waiting area and the locum room waiting area was full of people.
Come on la...it's not like you develop flu at night..if you MUST seek treatment, why can't you come earlier? Why so late at night? Because your work is more important?
Dear people, the mask you wear - it is NOT impermeable to viruses.
If you really want to avoid the flu, stay at home, rest.
If you don't have to go the hospital, then don't.
I still see people bringing their barely-1-year-old children to the hospital to visit sick relatives.
Is that necessary?
Don't they realize that hospitals are the homes for all the viruses and bacterias of the world?
Why do you think so many people fall sick IN the hospital?
Yes, I know people died of H1N1.
Yes, I know you are worried that you might get the infection.
But going to the hospital whenever you get the flu is not the solution.
If you are really unwell, by all means, go to the hospital.
If all you have is flu and a slight fever, stay at home, drink lots of water, do whatever it is you do when you had the flu before H1N1.
One thing you can do, and should do is avoid spreading the infection to others, which means minimal contact with other people. Just because you have an infection doesn't mean another person has to have it too, right?
I'm sure 1Malaysia doesn't mean every catching the same infection at the same time, right?
